I’ve been playing around with Google’s Flutter and have low-grade prototypes built for iPhone and Android. Right now they just parse the Blog’s JSON file, loops through the articles, and renders them. I’d like to do the same for the Podcast, Media Galleries, and Products.

I’m not a big fan of Dart and absolutely hate Android Studio but what I hate even more is giving control of my content to the social media and podcasting app landlords.

Flutter doesn’t have built-in HTML rendering so I’m converting it to Markdown via html2md and the displaying that. The good news is that the links don’t work 🙄 and the horizontal rules are fat and ugly. 🤮

If I can get the view rendering to look half way decent I may actually release the apps.
